## Description

You will work with architects and engineering teams to turn requirements into efficient digital hardware, balancing performance, power and area. The role also offers scope to explore AI-assisted tools and automation that improve design, verification and implementation workflows.
Responsibilities Design, develop and maintain synthesizable RTL using SystemVerilog or Verilog.
Translate architectural and functional requirements into efficient hardware implementations.
Develop verification environments, including testbenches, and perform functional verification.
Integrate digital IP blocks and subsystems, including interfaces, control logic and datapaths.
Partner with system architects and engineering teams to evaluate performance, power and area trade-offs.
Debug, optimise and integrate RTL, and use synthesis results to assess implementation outcomes.
Improve hardware development workflows through automation and exploration of AI-assisted tooling., In Return You will work on technically challenging hardware platforms and subsystems, with the opportunity to contribute across design, verification and implementation. You will collaborate with architects and engineers on meaningful trade-offs and help shape practical improvements to the way hardware is developed.
This role offers scope to deepen your technical expertise, explore emerging tools and approaches, and make an impact through high-quality engineering and continuous improvement.
